My Love From Another Star Exhibition at KINTEX (Day 6)

Now, who hasn’t watched the extraordinarily popular k-drama “My Love From Another Star”?

Starring Kim Soon Hyun in his breakthrough role as Do Min Joon, the alien who got stranded on Earth for thousands of years after his spaceship left without him, his on-screen romance with the superstar actress Jun Ji-hyun (Cheon Song Yi) left many die-hard romantics across the world swooning.

It is every fan’s dream to be able to sneak a peek into the homes of these beloved characters and that’s exactly what we did when we visited the “My Love From Another Star” exhibition at KINTEX! The exhibition was previously first staged at Dongdaemun Design Plaza before moving to KINTEX, a gigantic convention and exhibition center located in Ilsan, Goyang City, which is north of Seoul. [Do note that the “My Love From Another Star” Exhibition has since closed.]

The exhibition has different thematic zones featuring faithfully re-created film sets where all key scenes were shot. These will definitely resonate with fans of the show!

What a swanky looking living room!

The secret library!

There weren’t many visitors at the exhibition on the day we went, so we could happily take pictures without worrying about anyone photobombing from behind.  Yay! For die-hard fans, there is also a special photography service provided where you can step into the film set to take your wedding photos (for a steep price, of course).

our tickets!

Admission fee for adults is 15,000 won but we managed to score a discount coupon from the official website so we only paid 12,000 won each!

Kim Soon Hyun is everywhere in the gift shop!

Slightly overpriced tins of Lemona! Can buy them elsewhere at supermarkets for cheaper tho!

How to get here:

KINTEX is pretty far away from downtown Seoul. We took the subway from  Jongno-sam-ga station to Daehwa Station (50 minutes), and enjoyed a leisurely 20 minute walk to KINTEX. There are also free shuttle buses that offer pick-up from Daehwa Station but the frequency is quite slow.

what a cute looking bus!
